The Child Tax Credit can significantly reduce your tax bill if you meet all seven requirements: 1. age, 2. relationship, 3. support, 4. dependent status, 5. citizenship, 6. length of residency and 7. family income. You and/or your child must pass all seven to claim this tax credit.

i do meet all the criteria, that is why i am puzzled

You may meet all the criteria, but there may be an input error somewhere that is preventing the credit.  Try revisiting the section where you entered your dependent's information and double check everything carefully.
